Demolition is set to begin at a disused factory shop on Ellis Street in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, with fencing now in place around the site. The clearance work will pave the way for 18 new apartments and commercial units.
The scheme forms part of the £14 million North Kirkby Gateway regeneration project, designed to revitalise the Pond Hole area with a mix of housing, retail, and business space. The development sits within a broader programme of 21 projects supported by the £70 million Towns Fund and Future High Streets Fund.
The wider plan also includes the creation of 55 retirement and care units on nearby derelict land. Together, the projects aim to modernise Kirkby’s town centre infrastructure, improve the local housing supply, and attract new business investment through upgraded commercial facilities and increased footfall.
